This is a must try if you're on the Big Island!! It's just a cooler on the side of the road. $4/loaf of the best banana bread you've ever had! You can either drop some cash into the little metal box on the table or use the Venmo code under the lid. We picked up 3 loaves, some apple bananas, and avocados on our first day. Then, we went back near the end of our trip to get a few more! They were sold out, but there's a number to call and the baker's husband brought out a few piping hot loaves of bread. Wow!!! It's even more amazing when it's hot. I do a lot of baking and I make a lot of banana muffins, and even I'm impressed with Jeanette's skill. The bread is perfectly caramelized on the outside, the sprinkle of crushed mac nuts and sugar on top, with the moist interior is just perfect. Our kids were fighting daily at breakfast for the "end pieces", lol! We'll definitely be back someday! Mahalo! read more

Definitely plan a stop here while visiting the nearby coffee farms. We bought 3 loaves and it was the best decision ever. The loaves are topped with a sweet topping containing macnuts that make it unique and better than the rest. It's moist and flavorful, definitely one of the best banana breads I've had while visiting the Hawaiian islands. It's also super affordable at $4 per loaf. You pay via honor system through Venmo. When we arrived around 6:15pm, there were no more loaves in the cooler but there were a few phone numbers with a note posted on the cooler that said to please call if there were no more loaves so they can bring some up :) The owners are super kind and happily brought up some more loaves so we can purchase some. I think they said they filled the cooler with 52 loaves before they left for the day! I don't have a picture of the loaves because we ate them so quickly but just trust me when I say this is a must stop and you won't regret it! read more

Worth every mile! We're staying in Waikoloa and drove out just for this banana bread--so glad we did. It's moist, fluffy, and packed with the freshest macadamia nuts (tastes like they were just collected!). When we arrived, no one was at the stand--it's an honor system, so you leave your payment and open the cooler. Inside were gorgeous loaves waiting for us. We bought two and wished we'd grabbed more. I've tried banana bread all over the islands--this one truly stands out. Don't miss it if you love banana bread! read more

It was so delicious! It was the highlight of our trip when we got hit by the Kona Low storm. We stopped back for more. We're still talking about it 2 months later. read more

Hands down the BEST banana bread I've ever had!!!! We bought a loaf after finding this spot going to the painted church and quickly real the next morning we did not buy enough! We then spent 2 days looking for it because we could not remember where it was. We bought 5 that day then went back again for 5 more (they were out we called the number and they brought fresh bread to us right away) to bring back to Arizona to share with friends and family. I am sad to be all out of bread now and stuck with the craving of wanting more. How much to have some delivered!? read more

This place is THE definition of a hidden gem. It's literally on the driveway of someone's home on a windy residential road in the Captain Cook area! My friend recommended this place and said I HAVE to get more than just one loaf. My husband and I aren't one to disobey orders, so we grabbed two loaves. AND IT WAS NOT ENOUGH STILL. You may be thinking to yourself...how good can banana bread be? Well, this one has mac nuts distributed within and on top of it. It has this ridiculously amazing sugar glaze on top of it. I'm pretty sure I'll be turning my nose at any glaze-less banana breads in my life from now on. At $4 each, my hubby and I will promptly be driving back tomorrow for more. read more

Best loaf ever. Hearing about this place also led us to the realization that Painted Church Rd. is THE place to find fresh farmstand produce! Anyway, banana bread! Wonderful taste, good amount of mac nuts. Hours of of carload of Simpsons fans joking about how ALLLL of our problems are solved because Marge brought us "bah-nah-nah breead!" read more

Usually don't like banana bread but this was real good. Finished the entire block in a few minutes. Swing by if you're in the area, it's worth it. read more

Got this on the way back to our place from Two Step Beach. Delicious, not overly sweet and the sugary-mac nut crust was great. Paid with venmo. read more

Hands down BEST banana bread I've had to date. The macadamia topping makes the loaves addicting and craveable! I'm surprise it doesn't more reviews and recognition. Trust me , just make the drive. The drive up has some beautiful views of the island. I honestly wished I brought more than 6 loaves home. PS Is too much to ask to ship some to the mainland? Lol read more

The banana bread was delicious, and we liked the macadamia nut topping. There was no one at the stand when we got there, but they accept Venmo & cash. If you're going to visit the Painted Church, the banana bread spot is worth a stop. We wish we had found it at the beginning of our trip instead of the end, because we would have bought more and shared it with family all week. read more

AWESOME......The Banana Bread is Great...fresh and very tasty....It's a fun road with several fruit stands..well worth the trip..

Not worth the trip, I'm sad to say. I had such high hopes, as a banana bread fan & one who makes a lot of it myself. Bought 2 loaves ( a deal at $4 a piece), but none of the 5 of us thought it was anything special. Sorry! read more
